Chapter 59 – S-level Muddler (2/2)
Expected praise. The students were already numb to Caesar’s various stunning achievements. It is better to say that Caesar’s existence was originally an unrivaled symbol.
Caesar was equivalent to “invincible”, equal to “S-level hero.”
“Miss Rosie is awesome. She’s the personification of strong and brave! She’s clearly a girl, yet she did not cower in battle until she exhausted the last drop of magic… Damn, why am I not Caesar? I also want to be pursued by a good girl like Rosie!”
Rosie was equivalent to “strong and brave”, equal to “goddess.”
“As for Lin Xiao… can anyone tell me what he did? He is far worse than Caesar! Hmph, I don’t know what method he used to grab onto Caesar’s legs, what a lucky fellow!”
In the story Lin Xiao described, he deliberately reduced his sense of existence to a great extent, giving people the illusion that he wasn’t doing anything during the battle. It is no wonder that the students would blame him.
In the student’s eyes, it was a great achievement for Caesar to finish off the Jackalwere leader, and Lin Xiao just followed along and luckily completed the task. It was too unfair!
If Caesar was a “S-level hero” in the student’s minds, then Lin Xiao’s title was a bit strange…
Lin Xiao was equivalent to “soy sauce”, he was equivalent to an “S-level muddler”.
Is that not it? The reason why he was able to team up with Caesar was thanks to Rosie. When the camp was attacked by the Jackalweres, he saved Rosie’s life by chance, and Rosie wanted repay it, so she convinced Caesar to bring this baggage along.
Damn S-class muddler! He actually took advantage of Rosie’s kindness for his personal gain, how disgraceful!
However, Lin Xiao, paid no mind to the student’s discussion, because this was exactly what he wanted. To keep a low profile and conceal his strength, so that he can become an unremarkable reserve hero!
In any case, the Jackalwere leader was dead, and their entire pack was nearly eliminated. The actual combat drill finally came to an end. While the student’s discussed, the group returned to the camp outside Black Lake Forest, boarded the carriage, and prepared to return home.
Although Caesar, Rosie, and Lin Xiao were all awake, they were still very weak, at least Caesar and Rosie were really weak. Since Lin Xiao was able to accumulate magic through sleep, he could recover most of it by taking a nap. His current weakness was all faked.
Originally, with a skeptical attitude, Woos wanted to go to Caesar to find out what happened last night. He thought that Caesar could truthfully tell him, but unexpectedly, Caesar stammered, squirmed left and right, and even called Lin Xiao at the crucial moment to act as his spokesman.
As for Rosie, it seemed like she had a lot she wanted to say, but Caesar stared her down every time she wanted to say something, so she did not dare say anything.
After all that, Woos still came up empty handed. In the end, he could only give up, chalk it up to him over thinking, and concentrate on organizing the students to embark on their return trip.
In order to rehabilitate, Woos arranged a four-person wagon for them to let them lie comfortably. Lin Xiao couldn’t help but use this opportunity to give Caesar and Rosie a heads-up.
Although Caesar kept his promise and did not sell him out, but for Miss Rosie, some things were better off clearly explained.
“Missy, you can never tell anyone about the ‘secret’ I hold! I was just there to make up the numbers in yesterday’s battle, that’s all you have to remember! ”
Elena sat next to Lin Xiao and fulfilled her role as a maid. Of course, it was a nominal “fulfillment.” The other three were lying side by side, and Caesar’s arm was wrapped with a thick bandage, like a hero who withdrew from the front line.
“Hmph, am I that kind of woman? You saved me, of course I’ll keep your secret! Not to mention that Caesar also promised you…” saying that, Rosie peeked at Caesar’s expression, Seeing him remain unchanged, she continued to speak, “But Lin Xiao, I’m very curious about how you did it? That was a double chant!”
“That’s a secret technique of the Eastern Tribe. As for the specifics, sorry I can’t say more.” It appeared, the all-purpose Eastern Tribe, the best excuse!
Once Rosie heard it was a secret technique, she tactfully changed the topic.
“A secret technique… but there’s a price to use it, right?”
“Yes. The secret technique has side effects. My magic temporarily drops from the third level to the first stage of the second level. It may take a month to recover.”
“Ah? Lin Xiao the side effects were so strong?”
“I had no choice, in order to save Elena, but also to save you guys, this is the price I’m willing to pay!” Lying in the carriage, Lin Xiao waved his hand, and even Rosie, who always looked down on him, was moved.
His lies really flowed out naturally. From the beginning of the conversation, Elena was staring at Lin Xiao’s eyes the whole time, and she once again confirmed something.
Lin Xiao’s acting skills is superb!
His current magic level has risen to advanced fourth-level, and he could break through to the fifth-level at any time. There was no decrease at all, but it has risen a lot! His use of “double chant” also had no side effects whatsoever. “The Eastern Tribe’s Secret Technique” did not exist at all. It was all lies!
From the beginning to the end, Lin Xiao’s expression have not changed at all. You could not tell at all that he was lying. If Elena did not have a strong perception, and could not accurately perceive Lin Xiao’s true magic level. Perhaps she would also be tricked.
This guy was not a magical genius at all, he should be an acting genius, eh?
